Should infamous inmates get extra security at taxpayer cost?

﻿Casey Anthony’s whereabouts for her first week of freedom remain a closely guarded secret, known only to a select few as she tries to start a new life after being acquitted in the death of her daughter. One of her lawyers says an elaborate plan was made to protect her from people with “the lynch-mob mentality.” Anthony walked out of jail on Sunday, shortly after midnight, guarded by at least two heavily armed officers. In other cases closer to home, some inmates have worn bullet-proof vests for their safety and taken secret routes to keep out of public view.

Should infamous inmates get extra security at taxpayer cost?

Yes. The infamous need to be protected from perceived threats the same as you and me.

No. All inmates, no matter their notoriety, should be treated the same.
